My german shepherd is 9 months old and his ears are still not up. My other german shepherds ears were up by 8wks. Is there still a chance they could come up?

Not at this point. You could have tried to tape them at about 16 weeks, but that ship has sailed. Sorry

We have a German Shepherd and an old English Sheep Dog that get overly excited when things (primarily other dogs) come close to the fence line. The GSD is 14 months and the OES is 16 months. How can we train them not to bark crazily and run the line like heathens when other dogs come around? We are first time dog owners.

I have a chihuahua named Maya and I want to get a german shepherd because I have always wanted one. We already have one picked out but I am still thinking about it. I am scared that the german shepherd, when it gets older and bigger if it will attack maya.I dont know what to do. Please help.

First off, check what type of breeding you're getting your GSD from before you buy-that in of itself is CRUCIAL. There are West German show lines, West German working lines, DDR(East German working), Czech/Slovakian working lines and American CH lines. The higher the prey drive, the higher the potential for problems later. The working lines are definitely higher drive and have stronger prey drives, which could lead to problems. This may require some time getting educated in the German Shepherd breed as a whole, which I strongly suggest if you're really wanting to buy a puppy.
My suggestion would be to go with a breeding that produces a mild drive(WGR show lines and/or American CH lines). Ask about the litter's parents and their reaction to cats and other small animals(and what kind of bloodlines they have). If the parents are ok with smaller animals, then you have a greater chance of getting a pup who is ok also. We personally raise our pups with our very docile resident male cat from the time they're born so they learn to love him, not wanna hurt him.
That should help you avoid problems before you buy. Generally, if a puppy is raised with a small dog/animal, they will learn to respect that animal. Getting the opposite gender of what your Chi is would be wise, too. I would be equally concerned not to allow the Chi to bite/hurt/harrass the GSD, either! Best wishes!

Originating from the Bavaria region, the German Shepherd was bred from local Shepherd dogs and originally contained a wire haired version as well. This dog was first registered in 1899 and has been a popular family pet and show dog ever since.

A large dog, weighing in at around 80 pounds, the German Shepherd is perhaps one of the most recognized of dog breeds. Typically having black and tan markings, the German shepherd has a large triangular head with wide upright years and almond shaped. His tale is bushy underneath and hangs halfway down his legs. while most people recognize the short coated variety, the German Shepherd actually comes in three types, the long-haired, the rough coated, and the long rough coated. Colors can be the typical black and tan, all-black, blue or white and liver. The white German Shepherd Is actually not a German shepherd breed but a separate breed called the American White Shepherd.

Of all the dog breeds, the German Shepard may be the hardest working. Due to his high intelligence and keen interest in learning he is often used for police work, to aid the blind, and search and rescue missions, and as guard dogs. As a family pet, he can be a loyal and loving friend. Most German shepherds get along well with children and other pets but you need to be sure that you pick your shepherd from a good breeder. this dog can be a bit protective of his family so you want to make sure he Is trained and socialized properly from the get-go.

The German Shepherd likes to be kept active and have a job to do. This means that you will want him to be an active part of your family and enjoyed outings with you. To keep him busy you might think about entering him and agility contests at which he will probably excel. As they are smart and eager to please, they usually quite easy to train.

Hip dysplasia can be a problem in these dogs but this is due mostly to bad breeding so you need to be sure that you take a good look at the parents of the shepherd and be sure that they guaranteed not to have hip or elbow problems. this dog breed can also be prone to skin problems such as eczema and flea allergies as well as I problems like keratitis, dwarfism and epilepsy.

The German Shepherd does not have any excessive grooming requirements although he is a heavy shedder and does need to be brushed every day.

Although the German Shepherd is rather inactive indoors and can make a good apartment dog, he does need to be exercised frequently so if you have him in an apartment you do need to take him for daily walks and preferably for a long romp in the park on weekends. They love a lot of activity and like to have something to do, so things like playing frisbee or agility training are perfect for this breed. A home with a big yard for your dog to play and is ideal.

Just like any other dog, a German shepherd needs to be seen regularly by a vet into a ball be recommended vaccinations and other medications as deemed necessary by the vet. With proper care, this breed can live to be around 13 years old.

I have a year and three month old german shepherd and a little younger chiwawa and the chiwawa always growls at him and he dosen't let him go inside the doghouse. My german shepherd used to be the one doing that but now it's the other way around. Why?

That was the most vulgar title I've seen today.

Calm down tiger.

Chihuahuas usually end up being the more dominant of the household. They are smaller, and typically have HUGE attitudes and are usually more aggressive.

If its the pack structure, thats how it is and thats how its going to be. Nothing you can do.
